Résumé anglais The right of monks. Legal settlements of rural conflicts in Haut-Maine during the 11th century - What we know about rural justice in Haut-Maine, France, during the 11th century mainly comes from lawsuits between monasteries and the lay aristocracy. There was a vast transfer of real estate toward religious establishments. Most of these suits arose when heirs or the lord of the person who made such a donation disputed the transfer of property. At that time, there was no private appropriation of justice, but a public procedure with rules under the count's authority. How did courts made up of lay and religious persons, while favoring compromises, tend to privilege monks even though this encroached on aristocrats' economic interests?
